Herbie: Fully
Loaded
“Hey Linda,” my husband Charlie called to me last
night from the living room. “Yeah?” I responded, poking my head out from the
laundry room. “Herbstreit just predicted that the Buckeyes are going to beat OU
in the National Championship,” he informed me. Fast-forward to this morning,
where one of our coffeehouse regulars was picking up the usual sugar-free
frozen caramel latte for his wife: “Did you hear Herbstreit’s predictions last
night?” he asked me. “Of course,” I responded, knowing this guy is a big OU
fan. “We’ll see about your Buckeyes, won’t we,” he continued, obviously not
buying into the hype. Luckily, he still gave me a good tip!
Seems like there are a lot of expectations on the
Buckeyes this year, or more precisely, on Terrelle Pryor’s ability to lead the
team to
Will the Buckeyes
live up to the Loaded Predictions?
All I can say is, I hope so! It seems as though we have
the cards stacked in our favor. The Championship appears to be ours to lose.
It’s hard not to get cocky. Even our own TBDBITL John agrees with Herbie and
foresees the Buckeyes winning it all. As for me? Well, I’ve been telling my
husband that we are going all way since the end of the Rose Bowl. Most of the
Buckeyes have returned for another season in the ‘Shoe, led by good old #2. As
Herbie said, Tressel is ready to turn the offense over to Pryor and make some
plays happen this year.
We can all tune in Thursday night and get our first look
at the 2010 Buckeye squad. Against
Go Bucks! O-H…
P.S. It will also be another season of Fantasy domination
by yours truly, as Team Sweatervest made it to the Championship last year, but
didn’t seal the deal. My other league includes not only TBDBITL John but also
your Web Master extraordinaire Lori. Only time will tell which Memphis Buckeye
(if any!) is the best…
